Implementing Environmental Literacy Plans

Once your environmental literacy plan has been developed and written, implementation is the next step. During the planning process, ideally you identified the people who will be leading the implementation of different aspects of the plan and when different programs or processes will be rolled out. It’s okay to acknowledge that full, systemic implementation takes time.
